California Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP)
The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) is an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to investing in clean energy. Learn more about this program and how you can reap the financial benefits of a home battery installation.
What is SGIP?
The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) is an incentive program run by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This program provides people with a rebate for installing batteries in their homes. The rebate offered in this program is based on the storage capacity of the battery that is installed. Clients of SoCal Gas, Southern California Edison, PG&E, and Center for Sustainable Energy who install a battery in California may be eligible. The sooner you apply for SGIP, the greater the rebate you’ll receive. This is because SGIP has a tiered rate structure, which means the SGIP incentive amount decreases as more batteries are installed.
In 2024, CPUC approved $1 billion in funding to target low-income and high-risk communities with their Equity programs, which offers higher rebates to cover the costs of a battery installation. Learn more about if you qualify for this higher rebate.
How Solar Discovery Can Help with SGIP
The process of applying for and receiving your rebate can be long and complicated, but it is often worth the effort. Solar Discovery is happy to help you navigate the process to assess your eligibility and receive your rebate if eligible.
We are a registered developer with SGIP. Every SGIP application should be associated with a registered developer, which is a system installer or company that holds the contract for equipment purchase and installation. We (the developer) support you (the applicant) by completing the installation process and providing all the required documentation for the rebate.
As previously mentioned, the sooner you apply for SGIP, the greater rebate you will receive.
